abstract = {"Theory of Mind" (ToM), i.e., the ability to infer other
persons' mental states, is a key function of social
cognition. It is increasingly recognized to form a
multidimensional construct. One differentiation that has
been proposed is that between cognitive and affective ToM,
whose neural correlates remain to be identified. We aimed to
ascertain the possible role of the right dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) for cognitive ToM as opposed to
affective ToM processes.1Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation (rTMS) was used to interfere offline with
cortical function of the right DLPFC in healthy male
subjects who subsequently had to perform a computerized task
assessing cognitive and affective ToM.RTMS over the right
DLPFC induced a selective effect on cognitive but not
affective ToM. More specifically, a significant acceleration
of reaction times in cognitive ToM compared to affective ToM
and control items was observed in the experimental (right
DLPFC) compared to the control (vertex) rTMS stimulation
condition.Our findings provide evidence for the functional
independence of cognitive from affective ToM. Furthermore,
they point to an important role of the right DLPFC within
neural networks mediating cognitive ToM. Possible underlying
mechanisms of the acceleration of cognitive ToM processing
under rTMS are discussed.},
